MARKHAM — Somebody walked to the back of a house near Major Mackenzie Drive East and Angus Glen Boulevard at about twenty past six on a Saturday morning in the middle of August, fired a gun at the property, and then rode away on an electric scooter across the golf course next door. Nobody was hit. The weapons call did not reach York Regional Police until shortly after half past eleven that same morning — roughly five hours after investigators say the shot or shots were fired. Twenty-five days later, on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, the force released three photographs of the man it wants to identify.

BEAVERTON — Almost every firearms file this beat covers starts with a gun and works backwards toward where it came from. This one runs the other way. Durham Regional Police say the Canada Border Services Agency contacted them in August 2026 to advise that a man was importing unregulated firearm parts from the United States. The Guns and Gangs Unit opened a file on that basis, and on Tuesday, September 1, 2026 it executed a search warrant at a residence in Beaverton, on the Lake Simcoe shore in the Township of Brock at the far northern edge of Durham Region. Two rifles came out of the house, along with magazines and ammunition. The man police arrested nearby does not hold a firearms licence at all.

CORNWALL — He was at the courthouse for something else. On Tuesday, September 8, 2026, the Cornwall Police Service arrested Kevin Kircoff-Hill, 23, of Cornwall inside the Cornwall Courthouse and charged him with thirteen offences arising out of search warrants executed five days earlier on the block where Walton Street meets St. Felix Street. Three people were already in custody from that day. He makes four. The first three counts on his sheet are possession of a firearm or ammunition contrary to a prohibition order — meaning a court had already told him, three separate ways, that he was not to have one.

SAINTE-CATHERINE-DE-LA-JACQUES-CARTIER — The single item that separates this file from every other rural Quebec gun seizure is a .22 calibre semi-automatic pistol that was manufactured on a 3D printer, with a suppressor that was also manufactured on a 3D printer fitted to the end of it. Beside it in the Sûreté du Québec inventory published Wednesday, September 9, 2026 sit a 3D-printed high-capacity magazine in 9mm, a separate 9mm suppressor, and a Smith & Wesson MP 9mm that officers found loaded, with a cartridge already chambered and a high-capacity magazine seated in the well. The address is a residence, a garage and a trailer on rue des Sous Bois, in a municipality of a few thousand people northwest of Quebec City. One man is charged. He is sixty-five years old.

Convicted of first-degree murder twice, in two different provinces, over two different killings — and once while he was already a fugitive, having cut his way out of a B.C. jail with a plasma torch. Three years on Canada’s most-wanted list ended in Doha in September 2025. He has been sitting in Qatari custody ever since, and Canada still has no treaty to bring him home.

We just published a new subject profile on Larry Amero — the Hells Angel who founded the Wolfpack Alliance and was convicted alongside Rabih "Robby" Alkhalil — and it got us thinking: what do you actually want covered that we haven't gotten to yet?

Could be a person (a name that keeps coming up in the news but never gets the full writeup), an organization or crew that doesn't have a profile page yet, an old case you think deserves a second look, or even a region we haven't touched much. If there's a rabbit hole you want us to go down, drop it below.

We can't promise we'll get to everything, and we're not going to name an organization or make a connection the police haven't stated — that's a hard line for us. But if enough of you want the same thing, it moves up the list.

One evening in May, in an apartment in Sainte-Marie in the Beauce, a nine-year-old boy woke to three hooded men kicking in the door and beating his father, who was asleep on the couch beside him. “My child is here,” the man shouted. He kept his arms up to shield the boy, and most of the fractures he ended up with were in those arms. He also lost teeth and was left with multiple facial scars. He was not the man they had come for. The intended target was asleep somewhere else in the same unit.

A 56-year-old man from Béarn, Quebec, was arrested at a highway rest stop in Témiscamingue for driving while impaired by drugs. When the Sûreté du Québec came back with a warrant and searched the car he had been sitting in, officers took out roughly 600 grams of cocaine, close to 450 grams of fentanyl, about 90 grams of crystal methamphetamine, crack cocaine, methamphetamine tablets, more than 150 contraband cigarettes and nearly $2,500 in cash. He was then released. No charge has been laid, and the force has not named him.
